Steel Dynasty - Chapter 257

[Chapter 257 Return]

“Hurry up, hurry up!”

In the Qinling Mountains, Lu Fei was commanding the soldiers to pry open the stones that were firmly stuck with cement in the cave. In order to prevent the barbarians from passing through the cave, all the fifty-meter-long caves were He blocked it with stones.

Now it will take much longer to open it again than it did to block it before.

A group of 500 soldiers was stationed outside the cave, but the cave was so narrow that it could only accommodate one person knocking stones inside, and there was nothing others could do.

“Damn it, if I had known better, I wouldn’t have blocked it so tightly. How long would it have taken?” Lu Fei complained.

Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang also arrived at the scene. According to this progress, it will take at least two days to get through.

“Don’t be idle during the day and night, you must do it as soon as possible.”

Xiao Ming frowned.

When the soldiers heard this, they started smashing it with sledgehammers. When one of them got tired, another soldier took over and continued to smash.

At this time, Niu Ben had already led people into the Qinling Mountains.

According to the location written in the brochure, he led the soldiers around the mountains. It was only at night that he vaguely heard the knocking sound.

“Your Highness is opening the cave.”

Niu Ben was delighted, but it was already dark now and they could not go to search. Moreover, they did not dare to make a fire for lighting, because the barbarians must be patrolling outside the mountain.

This time, they had finished eating the dry food they brought with them, and now they could only starve in the mountains.

Hiding in the forest, Niu Ben looked at the cold stars in the sky with a worried expression, hoping that the barbarians would not know where the cave was.

…

Outside Shanhaiguan, the Huyantuo tribe, which once dominated Youzhou, could only huddle on a barren grassland outside the city.

In the battle of Cangzhou, the Huyantuo tribe suffered heavy losses. The loss of most of its troops reduced the Huyantuo tribe to a low-status tribe in the Golden Horde, which was dominated by the weak.

And it was Beishan who caused all this.

In such a late night, Gurtai looked at the rich grassland that once belonged to him in the south, and his heart hurt.

“Father, I heard that an army from the Great Chongqing Kingdom entered the grassland, and seven or eight small tribes of the Blood Wolf Tribe were slaughtered.” Gurtai’s son Batu walked in at this time, with a look of gloating on his face.

“How do you know this?” A glimmer of light flashed in Gurtai’s eyes. He could not resist Beishan, but he was happy to know that the Blood Wolf tribe under Beishan was suffering.

“It was said by a caravan leaving the city. Now Chagatai is going crazy and has sent a large number of cavalry to search, but so far there is no trace.” Batu said, “And now many flag leaders are worried that their tribe will become The next target is to refuse to send troops to attack Cangzhou.”

Gurtai laughed when he heard this. This is the best news in this period.

“Humph, Chagatai deserves to humiliate me like this in Shengdu!” Gurtai cursed.

Batu smiled. His father had not been so happy for a long time. He said: “But this King of Qi is really courageous. Isn’t he afraid that Chagatai will cut off the retreat of his cavalry? This cavalry has always been very good in the Chongqing Kingdom.” It’s a treasure.”

Gu Tai’s eyes flickered and he frowned, “Maybe this King of Qi is really not afraid, because there is another way to enter Cangzhou.”

“Is there another way?” Batu said in shock.

Gurtai nodded, “Yes, the Wang family in Qingzhou once sent someone to tell me that there is a natural cave in the mountains outside Cangzhou City that can lead to Cangzhou. Later, I sent people into Cangzhou to explore the way, but no one came back. “

Later, the Wang family seemed to get a lot of advantages from the King of Qi, and kept delaying sending people to guide the way. Later, the Wang family was destroyed by the King of Qi. Up to now, I only know that there is a cave in the mountain, but I don’t know. Where is the cave?”

Batu asked in surprise: “Then why didn’t my father send someone to search for it during the battle in Cangzhou?”

“It’s just a huge mountain. It’s not that easy. Besides, it’s said that the cave is extremely narrow. When Guan Wanfu doesn’t open, it’s probably more difficult to enter from this cave than to attack Cangzhou City.”

Batu nodded, and then he woke up and said, “Father, do you think the Chongqing army will come from this place this time. Entering the grassland in the cave, if this is the case, it will be difficult for Chagatai to notice it. If this is the case, should you inform Chagatai?”

“Stupid!” Gurtai’s eyes flashed, and then he said: “Beishan has always been ambitious, Datai Ji. We have always been dissatisfied with him. If Dadaiji hadn’t interceded for us in front of the Khan this time, the two of us would have died. Now tell Chagatai and the others, isn’t this helping the Blood Wolf Tribe? If you help Beishan, Dadaiji will definitely be angry. Is there any chance for you and me to survive at that time?”

Batu was startled and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He said: “What the father said is that the son is confused. “

Gurtai said solemnly: “Only you and I know this. Don’t let anyone say it. Those cavalry in Qingzhou can’t do anything to Chagatai, they are just tickling him. I don’t think so .

The Chongqing Kingdom must be taking this risk for the sake of the new city wall. Well, now we have a good show. Let’s see how Chagatai can get anything good in Cangzhou. He is probably very angry now

. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded.

Just as Gurtai thought, Chagatai was furious at this time. He mobilized everyone to search for the two cavalry on the grassland, and sent people to cut off their retreat, but so far they have not found even a single figure.

“Trash, what a bunch of trash.” Chagatai said angrily: “Seal up the entire twenty-mile radius of Cangzhou City. Even if we can’t find them, we will let them starve to death on the grassland.”

“Yes.”

All the flag leaders They left one after another. They never expected that Niu Ben was hiding in the Qinling Mountains at this time.

After all, it is not easy to hide an army of tens of thousands of people, but it is very easy for more than a thousand people to hide in the mountains.

The next day, Niu Ben found the cave and stayed in the woods outside the cave, suffering from cold and hunger for two days. In the early morning of the third day, the stone at the entrance of the cave rolled away with a familiar sound.

“Damn, it finally worked.” Lu Fei shouted while turning his sledgehammer.

Looking up, he saw Niu Ben in the woods, and said in surprise: “Captain, I finally found you.”

Xiao Ming also walked out of the cave at this time. This is in the Qinling Mountains, and there are five mountains outside. There were dense pines and cypresses everywhere in front of him.

He smiled and said: “Thank you for your hard work, old general.”

Niu Ben cupped his hands and said: “It turns out that His Highness had already planned it. He thought that there would be no return this time, but it’s a pity that this time he could only leave the loot halfway.”

“It doesn’t matter .

, The days are long, and there are still hardships for the barbarians below. “Xiao Ming said, “Old general, please come in.” Niu Ben

nodded, and suddenly felt lucky to survive the disaster, and led his men into the cave.
